Maths
For this week, Maths will be based on the area of statistics (data handling). As keen Mathematicians, we would like to introduce you to the topic of line graphs. Read through the information and answer the questions (you can view this as a PowerPoint or pdf) in your book. You will find the answers at the end of the slides/pages.
For English this week, we would like you to recap on Newspaper Reports. Familiarise yourself with the genre. Can you remember the features of a newspaper report? What makes a headline effective? What is the difference between direct and reported speech? You will also be planning on writing a newspaper article on a rather peculiar event in which a car finds an unusual parking space in a bedroom wall! (Some of you will already have seen this clip). Work through the slides (also available as a pdf) and record your answers and notes in your book. Answers are also provided for the relevant questions.
It’s great to see that a number of you are logging onto the Fiction Express website and reading a variety of the books available/on offer. Please continue to do so and if possible, do a book review and email it to us. If you have misplaced or forgotten your passwords, then contact us and we shall provide them to you. Below, you will find a range of different (very short) text and their content domain. Read the text and answer the questions. The answers are also provided.
The topic for the summer term is called Rule Britannia. In this topic we will be looking at why and how the Vikings settled in the United Kingdom, where they came from and their contribution to the British way of life. To start of the topic, we would like you to create a title page with the heading Rule Britannia – make it as colourful as possible. Then we would like you to do some research on the Vikings and you can present this information in any form: a video, Power Point, iMovie, poster, etc. Be as CREATIVE as possible. If possible, send these in as we would love to see them 🙂

Hello Reception, we hope you are all well and have been enjoying the sunshine. It was lovely to speak to you all over the last two weeks. We loved hearing your voices and hearing all of your news it really made us smile. From this week we are starting our new way of learning as mentioned in our previous blog. Below you will find a weeks worth of Phonics, Maths and curriculum activities that are similar to what we would have been doing in school. Children can then email work to their class teacher but only if they would like too. They can send in a piece of work by taking a picture, a Word document/ PowerPoint or if they would just like to write to their teacher about their work. To send the piece of work to your child’s teacher please send it to the following relevant email: [email protected][email protected][email protected]
Please follow the following link to find a weeks worth of Maths activities that come from the White Rose scheme of work which is the scheme we follow in school. Follow the activities dated 27/4. If you would like to read any of the books that the activities relate to then you should be able to find these on you tube. We have added a link to one of the books to get you started. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWxBn-xvrQ (night pirates story on cbeebies)
For those of you that would like a little extra challenge in maths I have included the ‘Digging Deeper’ activities on pattern that have a focus on problem solving and reasoning.
We have also set a range of spring activities that you can do at home. Remember to talk about all of the changes that you notice between Spring and Winter and see if you can remember how it has changed from the Autumn.
We look forward to seeing some of your work over the coming week. Remember just email us once a week and we will do our best to get back to you. Enjoy the sunshine and don’t worry about getting everything done. Do as much as you can and remember the oxford owl website https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/ follow the home learning link where you can access lots of eBooks that follow the reading scheme. If you find the books for 4-5 year old a little difficult then look at the year below. Likewise if you find them too easy then look at the year above. Remember Reading is the Key. Continue being the stars that you are and we hope to see you all soon,
One of the main skills we learn during our Guided Reading sessions at school is how to use our inference and deduction skills. In order to answer inference based questions, the children will need to draw on things such as picture clues, facial expressions and key vocabulary within the text. I have found a very useful, fun PowerPoint that explores these skills. I have attached it onto the post, just click the link and open the file. This is one that spurs on conversation about the text and allows the children to understand it at a much deeper level.
Hello Everyone! I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break. I have attached the first weeks worth of Maths and Phonics home learning. I have tried my very best to keep it as resource free as possible. Please record working out in books where applicable and have fun with it!
